my procmail setting is very simple: VERBOSE=yes LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log USERINBOX="$HOME/Maildir/" :0 $USERINBOX so, if $USERINBOX is not writable, procmail delivered the mail to /var/mail, not the postfix. (I may change USERINBOX to the external storage eventually) . not sure if there is a way to let procmail to stop the delivery to /var/mail? maybe I need to check procmail mailing lis. Thanks. Tom
